Shimano Reel Gear Swap

Ok, went to order a core mg7 gear set to drop in my Cu 51E.. Left crank... Well I stalled because, I felt certain that left gear crank gear sets were different than right crank gear sets... Am I right or wrong?

Edit: also will this affect my line lay?

Left and right gear sets are different.  If you were planning on ordering direct from Shimano, their web site shows the 51MG7 drive gear out-of-stock until 9-25; the pinion gear out-of-stock until 10-25.  You can request email notification of when the parts are back in stock (Shimano has done a very good job with their parts web site).

The link I originally posted didn't seem to work so I deleted it.  This might work better:

On the line lay - I've seen chatter about that on TT but never seen anyone prove that it's an issue...especially when only going from 6.4 to 7.0 gearing.
